Jeff Bezos is building a $500M superyacht so big it needs its own yacht. Billionaires are intolerable parasites.
Much like the sundown towns of the US where signs posted that "colored people" had to leave at night, Australia enacted similar discriminatory policies targeting Aboriginal people.
“The earth is not dying, it is being killed, and those who are killing it have names and addresses.” – Utah Phillips
The Mercator projection is really great if you have a superiority complex on a backwoods island in the North Atlantic.
•Reservoir levels are near record lows
Keystone XL is dead! Its defeat is a major blow to Canada's tar sands oil industry, weakening the prospects of future growth in tar sands production and worrying investors.⠀
Nature and geography shape who we are, and where and how we live our lives.⠀
There are 4 million houses located in floodplains in the US that collectively are overvalued by $44 billion based on their flood risk, or an average $11,526 per house. Because floodplains offer the cheapest land, their residents are disproportionately working class. As climate risks become more severe and real estate markets crumble, it's the poor, the least responsible for the climate crisis, who bear the burden.

Dual power is when autonomous institutions, grassroots democratic structures and cooperative economies compete with the ruling class for power and legitimacy during the transition away from capitalism. It's a strategy that builds real, not merely political, momentum towards the revolutionary transformation of society. Over the course of building counter institutions, communities become empowered, committed to change, and skilled in running society. As needs unmet by the pre-existing order are being met, and as people realize their collective power, revolutionary movements can engage in ever larger confrontations with the dominant economic and political systems.
